It’s not a frugal week for the most part.

I paid B’s Triumph Motorcycle DMV. That runs @ $150 so not too bad. He hasn’t really used it since this summer but maybe after this spring, he’ll get back on.

I spent a good amount at Trader Joe’s. Food was $160 and wine was $40. I had a $25 GC and some cash, so the rest was put on the debit card. I did get some extra frozen meals for easy suppers. I like having some back up meals that just get stir fried or in the microwave.

I filled up the Santa Fe at Costco and gas was $3.63 which is the lowest it’s been in ages. So that was a saving.

I ordered my new Hokas, so not cheap. But I have to say they are the best walking shoes I’ve ever had. I also ordered a 4 pack of Bombas socks, which is my go-to. They are not cheap either but last forever. The ones I’m wearing now are probably 3 years old and I wear them every day. I rotate between 4 pairs. One pair is starting to get some holes so that’s why I ordered a new package. Also, they donate a pair of socks or whatever you buy to homeless shelters. So it’s a win-win.

I decided not to go to the pool this morning. I figured I could still tomorrow if I wanted. I wanted to do a few things around the house like water plants and do a quick mop of the floors.

I also want to try a new recipe for chicken shwarma. It has lots of spices and looks yummy. The recipe is from Damn Delicious.

We have a new kitty showing up outside. A black and white one. We’re not sure if it belongs to someone or was dropped off. We’ve been feeding it and it’s very friendly.

I still need to go to the bank for some money for cash envelopes but I’ll do that next time I’m out and about. We still need to figure out getting the VW starter fixed. I guess I’m figuring to wait till we pay our property taxes and then see if there’s any money left over. Ha, money left over, right……

Hey, frumps a convicted felon at least and that’s saying something!!!

Gee, the devastation from the fires in SoCal is terrible. It’s shocking to see the pictures.

On that note…
